Curried Tuna with Apples and Raisins - Extra Healthy Sandwich

For 2 big sandwiches

2 big whole-wheat buns
1 (5 oz/140 gramm) can water-packed albacore tuna, drained
4 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 small Granny Smith apple, pelled, halved, cored and shredded
2 tablespoons raisins, soaked in hot water for 2-3 minutes and drained
1 tablespoon minced red onion
1 teaspoon mild curry
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup loosely packed greens or other mild lettuce
1 medium carrot, peeled and sheredded
1 medium size ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced
To make a curried tuna: In a medium bowl, using a large spoon, mix together tuna, mayonnaise, apple, raisins, onion, curry powder and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cut buns in half lengthwise and toast the slices. Lay them out on a clean dry counter. Top 2 bottom slices with equal amount of green or lettuce. Top greens with carrots and tomatoes, followed with tuna mix. Sprinkle each piece with a little bit of salt. Close each sandwich with a top slice of bun, pressing down slightly to make the shole sandwich stick together, then cut in half vertically and serve.
